From the Publisher:
After successfully helping hundreds of thousands of people take responsibility for their own actions, Dr. Phil McGraw now turns his expertise to the primary area of concern troubling most people: their relationships. In his tell-it-like-it-is style that already has influenced millions of Oprah viewers, "Dr. Phil" blows the whistle on the rhetoric of traditional "couples therapy" and instead tells you that -- no matter what state your relationship is in -- not only are you responsible for it, you are responsible for getting it back on track. By doing this, he offers readers the chance for further happiness through meaningful, fulfilling relationships that work.
Dr. Phil McGraw sets the record straight on the most popular myths about what a good relationship is supposed to be, such as:
Myth #1: A great relationship depends on a great meeting of the minds
Myth #6: A great relationship lets you vent all your feelings
A great relationship has nothing to do with sex

Annotation:
Famous for helping people "get real" about relationship (and many other) issues, Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., Oprah Winfrey contemporary and famed "Dr. Phil" of TV fame, as well as a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, explores ways that couples can turn their partnerships into success stories. An epiphany while counseling a dysfunctional couple led McGraw to rethink and revamp his counseling style and move away from conventional wisdom on couple therapy. Based on his observations of thousands of real couples (rather than his considerable book-learning), this program offers straight talk that will enable readers to take charge of their relationships, their futures, and their lives. McGraw offers a seven-step method for individual and joint self-exploration, learning together, and working toward the optimum relationship of which so many have dreamed. He offers plenty of hard work, including questionnaires, profiles, and surveys, before presenting a specific two-week curriculum for growing closer. Couples with a desire to restore their intimacy, or avoid losing it in the first place, will find a goldmine of help and information in this refreshing, no-nonsense guide.
